The truth of the mater is that all the agent does at the closing is sit on the sidelines and offer moral support. We all would like to be there because honestly it's payday and not many people wants to miss that.
Everything that needed to be done by the agent has been covered prior to the closing and if there is some sort of question that may come up it will be of monetary value or legal issue and would be decided by the folks selling or buying with the guidance of their respective attorneys.
At some closings there are only the attorneys, providing that the buyers, sellers or both have given their individual attorney the power to sign for them.
In the case where an agent has had unforseen circumstance arise he/she will usually contact their broker or another agent to fill in the gap with a walk through.Phone service is usually available at most places so feel comfortable that your agent will be checking to ensure that the closing is going smoothly.We're only human and have life issues as you do. - Sun Oct 11 2009, 10:10
